Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta, also known as Jogjakarta or Yogya for short, is the capital city of the province of Yogyakarta Special Region located in the southern part of Central Java province. Yogyakarta is probably the most popular visitor destination on Java; not only is it a centre of classical Javanese fine art and culture, it is also in close proximity to the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan. While the rest of Java moves relentlessy forward, Yogyakarta maintains a slower, more conservative way of life.
